Android res/raw resources from libraries are not included in the final APK

See original GitHub issue

We’re seeing this issue while trying to integrate Buck into our project. We first noticed this due to a crash on the jodatime-android library, which uses reflection to load resources from R.raw. Turns out that the raw class for library dependencies (aar) is completely empty when building with buck. The same class is correctly populated when building with gradle. Is this a known issue/limitation?

So it turns out this was caused by jodatime-android accessing its R.raw resources via reflection. Apparently Buck is trimming them since they are not directly referenced anywhere in the code. Our workaround was to create a simple class that keeps references to all those R.raw fields and that worked fine.
